She looks like an angel. Alright, now I have a genetic question, so, since a WFL still has lutino in the title, does it have the trademark lutino bald spot?

Not all lutinos have a bald spot, they're just a lot more prone to it than other mutations. Most of my yellow lutino girls don't have a bald spot and most of the whiteface lutino girls do, but there are exceptions with both. Snowy has a bald spot but Scoopi doesn't.

Hmm. I was told that lutinos did have bald spots. I didn't know it was only occasional. I thought it was a set in stone mutation flaw.

It's not set in stone, but it seems like lutinos are about 100 times more prone to it than other mutations. Any color cockatiel can have a bald spot, even the normal greys, but it's uncommon with everything except lutinos.

We didn't have to write down the calculator results, just copy and paste what popped up on the screen. I did have to manually write up the "English translation" of the complex calculator results, which took a while. That's why I didn't repost the translation after we corrected the input!
